Angry what is the difference?

I hear people refer to trucks as extended cab and supercab I even recall once hearing a truck referred to as king cab.

I used to have a 1995 Ford F150 XLT 4x4 that had the bench seat in the rear of the cab. super cab, extended cab, king cab

since I live in arizona and it is rather hot this year, if I drove through a car wash would I get steamed cab legs? hmm anyway...

just wondering what the proper terminology was...

I am trying to purchase a 1996 Ford F150 XL 4x4 as I sure miss that truck.

Many of those names are likely trademarked by various companies. I'm quite sure that "king cab" is a Nissan/Datsun name. To avoid trademark problems, all the truck makers had to use different names for the same thing.

When the extended cab trucks first came out in the 70's Ford called theirs the Supercab & Dodge called theirs ClubCab & Nissan called theirs the KingCab.
